Transit Police report arresting a man they say snatched a Red Line rider's phone at Andrew station last night, evaded the victim in a foot chase, but then proved no match for officers in cruisers.
Police say Daniel Smith, 26, of South Boston, was arrested at Gavin and Logan ways, a few blocks away from the station, after officers looking for him spotted him and had the victim ID him. Smith is scheduled for arraignment in South Boston District Court today on a charge of unarmed robbery.
Innocent, etc.
